Am trying to setup and verify snapmirror across 2 vsims, but seeing below issue.

Any help/guidance shall be of great help to identify what am I missing here?

Issue seen –

Snapmirror is not working across 2 different  vsims

Error says – Snapmirror expects that the destination filer to be same as that of source filer

--Error snip—

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*>

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*> snapmirror initialize -S smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g:vol3 -w smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6h:vol3

Illegal destination filer specification: smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6h.

Destination filer, if specified, must match the local host: smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g.

usage:

snapmirror initialize [-k <n>][-s <src_snap>][-c <dst_snap>][-S [<srcfiler>:]<srcpath>][-w] [<dstfiler>:]<dstpath>

in which <srcpath> and <dstpath> are

<volname> or </vol/volname/qtreename>

        - request start of initial transfer

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*>

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*> rdfile /etc/snapmirror.allow

  1. 172.31.70.29

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*>

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*> rdfile /etc/snapmirror.conf

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g:/vol/vol3 smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6h:/vol/vol3 - * * * * *

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*>

Big Thanks!

Anuj,

     I cannot believe I missed this before:

smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g*> snapmirror initialize -S smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g:vol3 -w smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6h:vol3

You should be initializing from the destination.

Log into smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6h and run snapmirror initialize -S smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6g:vol3 smoke6-vsim-pbc7b6h:vol3

Initialize should be run from the destination filer.
